Most AI agent demos fail in production for a boring reason: they have a framework, but not a runtime.

A runtime decides whether that agent can survive a crash, run tools safely, respect budgets, and clean itself up when the task ends.
That difference matters as soon as an agent moves beyond a short local demo.
